#Quote
1I'm not called Seve Ballesteros. I'm called Seve Mulligan, because I've had the luck to be given a mulligan, which in golf is a second chance.
2I'm so deeply immersed in my game plan and my play that I'm virtually oblivious to outside sights and sounds. I never hear my playing partner's clubs rattling and I rarely ever hear the gallery applauding. I'm grinding as hard as I can inside my bubble.
